Biography
Gaius Timesitheus was a general of the Eastern Roman Empire, but in 470 AD he led a rebellion against the ruling government and declared himself the Augustus of the Eastern Roman Rebels. Timesitheus was besieged in the city by the Roman army of Captain Valens, but he forged an alliance with the German Alemanni tribes against the Eastern Roman army. Captain Rando was dispatched with 65 warriors to aid Timesitheus, but Valens defeated them and Rando was killed, and his replacement Captain Hengist took command of the last 12 Alemanni warriors. Timesitheus was attacked in the city by Captain Valens' army, now that he had far less men, and he was killed in the assault on the city.
